No it's not pro like Mike's alto, it's just a student-level Conn.
But I know how to make it sing. I once tried a Yamaha from the school, I could not get a tone I liked from it.
V16s are nice reeds, they need to warm up before performing but they give a nice bright sound. Unlike the Ricos, which I can pretty much just play out of the box.
Now I just need to actually start practicing again.
Speaking of instruments, I find Crobert's guitar fascinating. It's like a Les Paul, but...not? Also, the black with gold trim and inlaid mother of pearl is gorgeous.
edit: It's an Edwards LP Custom, I don't know if that means it's a modified from a Gibson LP or an imitation. I told him he should find a red one with an antenna.
